Debating on new shoes.

ayuname · 11-21-2009, 07:54 PM

I have worn out my B5's and need to buy new shoes.
Deciding between B5's or 1.3's or just wait until next year to buy the new models.

I am a toe dragger, I wear my tennis shoes throughout the day, and I want something extremely comfortable.

I've tried on the 1.3's and I liked the glove feeling but my experience with the B5's is astounding so I'm stuck.

Thanks anyone and everyone.

Why buy the new models? If you like something, stick with it unless you think the newer item is the real deal.

True. Do you or anyone else have experience with the B5's and 1.3's and compare their feels?

I abandoned Nike after 2 dozen pairs because of durability in favor of Adidas Genius plus they look cooler.

Haven't tried the 1.3s, but I did try the BVs on for a short time (meaning I tried them on at the store). I really did like the the BVs, and they did fit my feet pretty well (glove-like, like you said) but the BIIs were cheaper and (I felt) fit just as well if not better. I'm not a Nike guy, feet are too wide for a majority of there shoes, but I can't comment on the 1.3s...

Time for more research haha.
Thanks Jonny and jazzy.

If anyone has experience comparing these two shoes, please do share.

I've had both and have found that the 1.3's are more comfy. The BV's are more stable. Durability is about equal. But if you're going for comfort/durability go with the 1.3's
